[Elfsea] A thank you

[Spence Mabry]

While we all like having fun at events and on the 
list (especially when we kid each other), it makes us 
aware of the events around us when our leadership is 
called on to make possibly unpopular but tough and, 
in the final analysis, correct ones.  I applaud their 
steadfastness to the concerns for friends and family, 
yet reminding us (in the only why our great 
vertically-challenged Baron can) the we can fun while 
being serious.

I, for one, am relieved that the decision was made 
the way it was, becuase that freed me from having to 
make a very serious one on my own.  But, at the same 
time, I am saddened that we won't be skipping the 
light fantastic amongst the fields and vales of 
Canton. 

SIGH!
